Portrait in Art

Takuma Watanabe presents a series of acrylic paintings visualizing the energy of unconsciousness. Throughout his lifetime he has been fascinated by natural and fabricated forms, such as molecular formations and sacred mandalas. Watanabe’s work uses these abstract multi-faceted forms to capture the concepts of love, unity, and happiness.  

Watanabe’s first collection, Portrait in Art, materialized through a deep introspection achieved during the solitary year of 2020. Watanabe’s “self-portraits” are not just a reflection of his own unconsciousness, but also encourages the viewers to reflect on their own internal psyche.
